"We've scheduled the works at night to minimise disruption, however if you do need to use this route our advice is to plan ahead and allow a few extra minutes for your journey."

To allow works to be carried out safely, the slip road will be closed from 20:30 until 06:00 each night.

A clearly signed diversion route will be in place, directing traffic to continue westbound to turn at Junction 4A and return eastbound to exit at M8 Junction 4 eastbound off-slip. This diversion will add approximately six minutes and 4.6 miles to affected journeys.

Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
